Additional Comments:        Assigned temporal period was based on the 1898 through 1924 range of death dates inscribed on observed headstones.  The cemetery is marked on the USGS Salem map sheet or on local realty maps.  The RVHS surveyed the cemetery and documented biographical information derived from inscriptions on two headstones that predated 1920 (1986:  126).
